Writing: I Shall Rise Again

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Writing Sisters

Self Portrait by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889 (Photo credit: Alaskan Dude)

In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.

Vincent Van Gogh

What a fantastic quote from one of my favorite artists. I can see him holding his pencil in a fist, shaking it at the world… and continuing on.

Thanks for sharing it.

Although Van Gogh had a troubled life, I’m glad he encouraged us from the past with this quote…thanks!
